Special Olympics

SHC sponsors students from both public and private schools, as well as independent adults in the community, for Special Olympics. Training is provided for participation in bowling, bocce ball, track & field, skiing and swimming. SHC’s athletes have participated at the local, regional and state levels and have been recognized as ‘Outstanding Athletes of the Year’ in the Medina County Sports Hall of Fame.

Currently SHC sponsors athletes in the following events:

Bowling

Practices are held September through May at Dick Hoover Lanes in Brunswick every other Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Swimming

At this time we are looking for someone to coach our swim team.

Track & Field

Track and field is held in the spring beginning late March (weather permitting) through the end of June. Practices are held at Highland Middle School on Mondays from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
